Artie Lange’s reps have just confirmed that the comedian’s hospitalization last week was due to attempted suicide.

Artie’s mother reportedly called 911 after she found him with nine self-inflicted stab wounds at his home on Saturday morning. She was stopping by the house to drop off some food at the time.

Despite massive bleeding from the six minor cuts and three deep plunges, doctors were able to save Artie. He is now recovering from his injuries.
